q LONDON JOURNALS. fFRONI THE MORNING PAPERS OF TINS DAY.] [Morning Chronicle.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CfIRONICLE. Sia,—The inclosed Letters were sent to me some time since for insertion in your Paper, but as I had then some reason to doubt their authen ticity, I declined dOing in, have, however, lately had the most perfect assurance and proof of their being_ genuine copies from the originals, and will therefore feel obliged by your giving them a place in your valuable columns. 'ont's, &c. London, Ott. 26, 191$. {Translated from the French.) TO THE GOVERNOR. Longwood, this 19th of 11411% Itta,—l bare received the fire cases you have taken the troultle to forward to nit., containin,T, a check-board, a h x of counters, and two ivory work-hasliets, sei.t from Canton by Mr. Elphinstone Tbr Emperor was surprised to Ac e in your letter, that you conceived your duty required you should ttot deliver these articles. " 1 acted," say you, " ill .strict c•mformit s y with the caublished tegulation.t, 1 ought to abstalu front soutiug In this case, Sir, you would have done a gracious act in withholding thrm. Pcrtnit tut, however, to ask the meaning of your obserra tam'. Is it because these thlugs did- not art ire through the , channel of the ,linister ? In the Minister's restrictions, it certainly is stated, that l etfera must eons through that channel, but not such things avwearing apparel, busts, aryf articles of furniture We have been constantly in the habit of receiving many things from the Cape, which . :have been sent for us. 13esides, t;ord Bathurst, in his speech,, and you yourself, in one of your letters, have indignantly repelled the assertion, that letters which arrived here per post, or by private hands, had been sent to London in order to be re turned to this country. Hence, you neither can nor ever could be authorised to withhold such things as busts, articles of household furniture, books, and such like, not affecting in any shape the security of the detention. It may be, perhaps, because the counters have a Crown im printed upon them ! But then, no regulation can exist of which we are kept in ignorance; nor are we aware, that we must nut possess any article bearing. the impression of a Crown, In that case, Sir, you twist have some new sets of playing cards made, for those we have bear Crowns upon them. Our linen and small residue of plate are freqnently sent to the town, and they are all marked with a Crown. But whence emanates this regulation, which you asset t. to exist ? is it from your Government, which alone by the Bill has the right of making any I Your Minister has declAred in open Parliament, that no restriction had been imposed since those which bad been printed and proclaimed to all Europe, and which were given to your Predecessor, and by him handed over to you. He added too, that you had not imposed any rastrietion, but merely adopted measures for their execution. Indeed you hare not the tight to impose any. The Emperor wants no favour, Sir, nor will he he indebted f6r any thing to any man's. caprice. But he has a right to Inow what the restrictions are, which he is subjected to.— Your Government, Parliament, and all nations hale the same light. I therefore beg yon, Sir, to communicate to us these fresh restrictiqns, ;aid if any such do exist, they must be in contra diction of the assertion of Lord Bathurst, " that their only ()Nutt is to ensure the security of the detention." The Em peror directs me to protest against the existence of any re striction or regulation which shall not be legally notified to It ilia before it be put in force. 1 have the honour to be, • Sir, your most obedient, &c. (Signed) LE CTE. BERTRAND. To tient.-Gen. Sir H. Lowe, Governor. TO Mit. RADOWICH. AS I'F.R GUNNER ON BOARD THE SHIP THE BALLING. Longwood, July 16, IQI7. have received the marble bust of ynuog Napo leon. I delivered it to his father. It has afforded him the snost delightful gratification. • regret it has nut been in your power to come to see us, -and furnish us with some particulars, which, to a father so situated, must always he interesting. Front t he letters you have sent, it appears, the artist esti mates the value of his work at one hundred pounds sterling. Vie Emperor has ordered me to send you a Bill of Exchange for 3001. sterling, The surplus is to indemnify you for the losses he knows you have sustained on the sale of your adven ture, from not having been able to l a rd; and fur the annoy ance which this event has occasioned you, simple as it is, and which must have entitled you' to the good opinion of every - sensible man. Have the goodness to convey the Emperor's thanks to the persons who hare'had this obliging attention. I hare the honour to be, Your very humble and most obedient Servant, (Signed) CTE. BERTRAND. P. S. I request you will be so good as to acknowledge the receipt of the inclosed Bill of Exchange. THE ARMY. OFFICIAL.

It is understood the 11th and 13th Dragoons are to proceed 'to the East Indies. The Blues, and the ttvo Regiments Of Life Guards, are re duced to the same Establishment as the other Cavalry Corps. The total'of these reductions in the Cavalry, Foot Guards, and Infantry, amounts .to more than 33,000 men and officers; the Artillery not inclnded. The a hovE is - the official notice lof the Army Re ductions, which, after considerahle alterestion, have been agreed on. We fear it will not be easy to make out, what is asserted on the paper, that the reduct ions Will bona fide amount to more than 33;000 men. Time emphatic words, "to be re duced as soon as pos ilile." leave a most conve nient latitude to the War-Office. It is said that the Earl of Liverpool was de ikons of reducing the Army to the Roth Regiment 61 Foot, but the temonstrances were so strong front head-quarters, that all representations of the intolerable burthen on the country were insuffi cient, nor could he succeed in procuring the re duction to stop even at the 90th, as the three higher Regiments, the 9lsf, 92d, and 93d, were Sews, With local influence, and under high au spices. It will probably be found, on accnrate and minute investigation, that the whole reduc• t ion •viii not produce an immediate saving of more than one arillion per annual !—(/bid.) [Morning Herald.] THE QUEEN. " Kew, Eight o'Clock, Oct. 26. " No change has taken place in the Queetes health since my last. The Phy , icians, apprehen sive of a relapse, tv e re both in attendance during the greattr part of the night, but the Royal Pa 6ent continued in a state of pr , found sleep till it hte bout this morning. Her Majesty, however, clots hot appear to have derived the least benvfi , ft-cm her r,•ltose. She remained throughout the day free flow pain, Inn excessively debilitated. " Att cr bre kt ast , this morning, Sir Henry Halford left the Palace for Wii dsor. to attend the Princess Sopilia. He was expected to return to-night. " His Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived from C) ttlands, soon after ten o'clock, and re mained .neatly two hours with the Princesses. During his stay, his [loyal Highness accompanied the Princesses in their morning visit to cte-lawn and plantations, and he then set out fur his in the Stable•yard, St. James's. " The Princesses walked out several times af terwards in the course of the day, to inspect the progress of the it orkmen, of whoui between ditty and forty are still employed,- and will he so till thri!:tinas, in completion of the improve ments already designed. " The Prince Regent arrived at the Palace soon after six o'clock, and immediately gave au dience to Sir Francis Mama!), who then made his evening report on the state of her Majes , y. - " His Royal Ullomeis afterwards remained to dinner with the Pcincesses. His horses are or dered for halt•past nine " [The Times We have received-a letter a' from General Gout gaud, a person Who has written a book to vilify the military talents of Marshals Ney and Grouchy, in order to save the reputation of Buonaparte as a General at the battle of Waterloo. We insert the letter as he desires ; but if he correspond with us in future, he must learn to call people by their right names. He will see what we mean, by casting his eye over his letter in this day's journal. We will give our readers an idea of the excessive vanity of this silly man, or his silly master. He asserts that the Duke of Wellington had 85.000 of 90,000 men, when attacked by Buonapatte at Waterloo with only 67,000; and yet, says he,,the former did wrong to susta,n the attack at that place, as be had only one road to retreat by. Pray how many roads had Buona parte to retreat by when he committed the ac tion ? or how many roads did lie retreat by after it was lost ? In this the writer most egregiously exposes his own master. Lord Wellington, who had eventually no occasion to retreat, had still one good road in his rear, in case he had wanted it. Buonaparte, who had occasion to retreat, had no more than one road. and that a bad one ; and a brook and a narrow little bridge at Ge ruappe, over which it was wholly impossible to pass withmit -destruction : so that it is pretty clear which of the Generals fought the battle with less skill, foresight, and prudence. The following is the Letter alluded to, which appears in The 111 urning Chronicle of this day : TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. London, 261 h Oct. 1818. one,of the columns of your Paper of this day, un der the head of " Aix-la-Chapelle—Private Correspondence," it is said, " General Gourgaud, who lately addressed a letter to the, Archduchess Maria-Louisa, begging her to interfere with Congress in favour of her husband and his master, re ceived for answer to his application a present of about 30,000 francs, and positive orders to address her Imperial Highness no more upon the subject." The two latter asset rictus made in this article are entirely false. A prohibition to tell the truth is not, nor can it be, the answer to the confidential letter which I had the honour to write to her Majesty the Empress Maria-Louisa. ot► the 99th August last. The supposition even would be injurious to the well•known character.of. that Princess: and as to the reception of any present whatever, it is also a mistake; I have received, Sir, no more flattering recompense than the. ap probation of hOnourable men, and the satisfaction experienced in having done my duty. I expect from your justice the insertion of this letter in your next Paper. have the honour to be, Sir, your's, &c. (Signed) The General GOURGAUD, N 0.22, Compton-street, Brunswick-square. NEWS.

The Monileur contains a copy of the Convention for the evacuation of France, which is exactly the same as given in our Paper of Wednesday last. Separate Conventions in the same words were concluded between France and Austria, France and Great Britain, France and Prussia, and France and Russia,*with merely the difference of course in the description of the Ple nipotentiariei. The Moniteur gives, under the Paris head, an entire copy of the Convention be- - tween , France and Austria, and then merely the introductory part of the others, containing the style of the Plenipotentiaries, the rest being ex actly the same as the one published ; not a word is added by way of observation, comment, or ex planation.—The following are extracts Pasts, OCT. 24.—The King went yesterday to St. Cloud, and afterwards visited the Duchess de Berry at the PalaCe of Elystle Bourbon.
